Larger Resolution shots of these have been cleared from the net in swoop by the film studio responsible for the new Batman movie : The Dark Knight. so im posting versions i found lying around the place, scattered for the hunters. it just makes me laugh because this IS EXACTLY WHAT WARNER BRO'S WANTED! ....
wake up people. its hype viral marketing and its worked so well before. the more they play up the shots as "not for general viewing" the more people are just gonna rush out and swarm the net to find these images. priming up the movie with excitment. considered why the shots are professionally taken? 1+2 =3.
here's 18.
personally, im a big fan of Nolans interpretations, and Bale's reworking. now Ledger is going to be the breaking point here as the Joker. can he pull it off and become a true homage to the graphic novel equivelants? i truely hope so. plus he's killing it in those socks aint he? i want a pair.
Dark Knight opens 2008, July. for those who still think this is a 60s teen comic book, kiddies movie. dig a little deeper. The Long Halloween. Arkham Asylum. true interpretations. from great artists. so i'd love to say this is a finger in the air to the studios trying to stop these pics getting out .... but its what they wanted all along.

another batman already!?
the last one must have done pretty well !
it doesnt look dark enough for me though!
i do like the look of the joker however, slightly more maniacal or disturbed. my kind of man~!
:D
hehe
Alec, you ever read Arkam Asylum ? with art by Dave Mckean? you should realllllly check it out mate. darkest bat graphic novel out there, and reaffirms the bat for an adult audience.
keep in mind this franchise will never get to a dark dark level, say MA 15+, it needs to straddle that borderline so the "kiddies" can still go and see it and rack up that revenue. but i have faith in Nolan, he did well on the first movie.
anyway back to my spiderhole for more work. doing up some winelabel branding at the moment and then my qee. i intend to escape round the end of November and catch up with you ameigo. appologies on being such a net hermit of late.
